Cloud

WISE-PaaS/EnSaaS

WISE-PaaS/EnSaaS is an open and standardized industrial IoT platform provided by Advantech Corp., and EdgeSense leverages cloud services on top of it to offer device management and visualization service.

You will be re-directed to WISE-PaaS online documentation site via below links.

Register account on EdgesSense Portal

Please visit this page for step by step instruction.

How to Connect Edge Devices to RMM Cloud

Please visit this page for step by step instruction.

Azure

Create Azure IoT Hub

To utilize Azure services, we need a Microsoft account to log in to azure portal. Following steps will create an azure iot hub to communicate with Advantech protocol converter modules.

Step 1. Log in to Microsoft Azure Portal

Step 2. Create a resource group

  • Search “resource group” and create new one
create-rg.png
  • Input resource group name: protocol-conn-rg (for example)
  • Select a location (service region): East Asia (for example)
create-rg-detail.png

Step 3. Create an azure iot hub

  • Search “iot hub” and create new one
create-hub.png
  • Select Resource group created at step 2: click “Use existing” and select “protocol-conn-rg
  • Select Region: East Asia
  • Input IoT hub name: protocol-con-hub (for example)
  • Click on Review+Create
iot_hub.png
  • Click on Create
iot_hub2.png

Connect device and data to Azure for Windows device – Protocol Converter Using Node-RED

Cloud Environment Setup

Following steps will create an azure iot device to connect to iot hub created at previous section.

Step 1. Go to iot hub created at previous section: Resource groups → protocol-conn-rg → Overview → protocol-con-rg (for example)

iot_device0

Step 2. IoT Devices → Add

select conn hub
  • Device ID: protocol-conn-device (for example)
  • Authentication Type: select “Symmetric Key” for this tutorial
  • Check “Auto Generate Keys”
  • Connect device to IoT Hub: select “Enable”
  • Save the configurations
add_device
  • Select the created iot device to get device connection string
iot_device
  • Click save-icon.png to copy “Connection string-primary key” and make sure the "Connect device to IoT Hub" is "Enable"

          "Connection string-primary key" will be used later in Node-Red "Connection String" field.

iot_device2
  • Save the connection string in a text file for later use
save-conn-string

Device Environment Setup

Following steps will configure device Node-RED nodes to enable communications between Advantech protocol converter modules and azure iot hub.

Step 1. Open Node-RED page in the web browser (default URI is http://127.0.0.1:1880)

nr main

Step 2. Copy following content and import it into Node-RED

Connect device and data to Azure for Linux Ubuntu device – Protocol Converter Using IoT Edge

Prerequisites

Before to perform Azure IoT Edge environment setup steps, please make sure all following packages and tools are available and are correctly setup.

Linux Host

  • Docker:

1. Install Docker and check "docker" command is available. (the version number may be different).

prerequisites-docker-linux.png

Protocol Converter will install Python and IoT Edge Runtime Control Tool automatically, user could check the version to see if it's well installed. 

  • Python pip:

1. Install Python pip command.

        sudo apt-get install python-pip

2. Make sure the “pip” command is available.

prerequisites-win-python.png
  • IoT Edge Runtime Control Tool:

1. Install IoT Edge control script (may need to run as root)

        pip install -U azure-iot-edge-runtime-ctl==1.0.0rc17

2. Make sure the “iotedgectl” command is available. (the version number may be different)

Device Environment Setup

Following steps will configure edge device to bind to azure iot edge device previously created.

Step 1. Configure the iot edge runtime (need administrator privileges on windows 10 host or root privileges on linux host)

  • Open a command prompt and type following command. Replace "{your iot edge device connection string}" with the saved device connection string
        sudo iotedgectl setup --connection-string "{your iot edge device connection string}" --auto-cert-gen-force-no-passwords
iotedge-setup-linux
  • Start the IoT Edge runtime
        sudo iotedgectl start
iotedge-start-linux
  • Check Docker to see that the IoT Edge agent is running as a module
        sudo docker ps

Deploy an IoT edge device module to edge device

Step 1. Select iot edge device created at previous section

select-iotedge-device

Step 2. Set Modules → Add IoT Edge Module

Subscription3.png
Step 5.Click on finish to confirm and save subscription.
Subscription4.png
Step 6.Review the subscription information.
Subscription done.png

Run Greengrass Core in Your Device

/greengrass is located under Installer folder, e.g. {$Unzip Path} is ~/Desktop/Installer/packages/AWS/EISXGCC 

To configure your core to recognize the AWS IoT thing, update the /greengrass/config/config.json file. and /greengrass/certs.

Copy certs and config with root permission, use the certificate for GreenGrass Core.

Step 1.sudo cp -R certs/ {$Unzip Path}/greengrass/
Step 2.sudo cp -R config/ {$Unzip Path}/greengrass/
Step 3.sudo cp root.ca.pem {$Unzip Path}/greengrass/certs/
root.ca.pem is just located under {$Unzip Path}.
If the original file under {$Unzip Path} is root-ca.pem, just rename it to root.ca.pem after copying to {$Unzip Path}/greengrass/certs/

# mv root-ca.pem root.ca.pem

The Greengrass core software is installed inside the /greengrass directory of your device.

Step 1.Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.

Step 2.sudo {$Unzip Path}/greengrass/ggc/core/greengrassd start
greengrassrun.png

Deploy Your Greengrass Group

After running Greengrass core, you can deploy your Greengrass group to your device.
Step 1.Go to the AWS IoT console.
Step 2.In the navigation pane, select Greengrass and then Groups.
Step 3.Click on your group, GGC.
Step 4.In the navigation pane, click Deployments.

Step 5.Click Actions > Deploy.  
2018-02-01_135700.png
Step 6.In the Configure how Devices discover your Core select Automatic detection.
2018-02-01_135720.png
Step 7.In the Grant permissions to access other services, click Grant permission.
2018-02-01_135731.png
When the operation is complete, the Deployment successfully completed is displayed at the top of the page.
2018-02-08_151442.png

Set Up Your AWS IoT Things

When Greengrass group is deployed successful. You can setup AWS IoT Device which is defined in Greengrass group with Protocol Converter.  

AWS IoT devices need certificates to authenticate with AWS IoT and retrieve the connectivity information of your Greengrass core. You downloaded these certificates in Add devices to your group Create device things.

Install Your IoT Thing Certificate

Use Certificate for setup AWS IoT device.
cp root-ca.pem {$Unzip Path}/ProtocolConnectorSample/certs
cp <id>.cert.pem {$Unzip Path}/ProtocolConnectorSample/certs
cp <id>.private.key {$Unzip Path}/ProtocolConnectorSample/certs

Configure The Samples

Inside the ProtocolConnectorSample/config/ directory you can find the configuration files SampleConfig.json for your things:
1. Please find your endpoint in Settings page in AWS IoT Console.
2. Fill in relative path of root-ca.pem.
3. Fill in relative path of <id>.cert.pem.
4. Fill in relatvie path of <id>.private.key

5. Fill in your device name that you added for GreenGrass group in the following three fields.
2018-02-09 16-17-16.png

Run the Protocol Converter Sample

After setting AWS IoT you can execute protocol converter sample, In the ProtocolConnectorSample folder

./MQTTAgent-sample
